Gillian Anderson Confirms She Has Quit The X-Files

The future of The X-Files is uncertain now that Gillian Anderson confirmed she is officially leaving the series. Over the past few months, Anderson has made several comments suggesting she may not return for another season of The X-Files, but today she made the decision official. Here is what she told reporters during the Television Critics Association winter press tour:

“It’s time for me to hang up Scully’s hat. It just is. I’m finished, and that’s the end of that… There’s lots of things that I want to do in my life and in my career, and it’s been an extraordinary opportunity and extraordinary character, and I am hugely grateful.”
